Welcome to the Vaikasi Visakam Walk 2026 organized by the Concord Shiva Murugan Temple.
Vaikasi Visakam is observed in the Tamil month of Vaikasi when the Visaka Nakshatra is in effect. This sacred day marks the birth of Lord Murugan. Devotees celebrate by visiting temples, particating in processions, and performing abhishekam - ritual offerings such as milk poured over Vel (spear) as an expression of devotion.
The Concord Shiva Murugan Temple is organizing a 8-mile short walk to the temple starting from Pleasant Hill Bart Station, Walnut Creek, CA to celebrate Vaikasi Visakam.
We will be organizing another walk later this year after securing the approvals.
Registration is required to participate in the temple walk scheduled on May 30, 2026.
Before registering, please review the waiver form . By registering and participating in the walk, you agree to the terms and conditions listed in the waiver.
If you would like to sponsor Vel (spear) Abhishekam, please pre-register to avoid long lines at the temple.
Organizing an event like this requires a lot of volunteers from the community. Consider signing up for various volunteer activities.
